Good news skater boi, skate is indeed going to make it to Wii and DS. And hot damn if it won’t be using the soon to be released Balance Board. That’s the same Wii peripheral I found out today I might not be picking up day one as planned. We knew that some Balance Board games were in the works, but simultaneously our fingers were crossed that some sort of quality series would make the leap. EA’s answer to the tired Tony Hawk game series is a welcome choice.
“We knew it would be an exciting challenge to bring the soul and feel of skateboarding to the Wii and Nintendo DS,” said Scott Blackwood, Executive Producer - Skate franchise. “With fresh new designs and gameplay components built from scratch, we’ve been able to, once again, capture the true experience of skateboarding in a completely innovative way.”
The “FlickIt” controls of the original remain intact, but some new gameplay elements offered by Wii’s motion control are also being implemented. A DS version is also in the works and of course Skate 2 is currently in development for PS3 and Xbox 360. Skate It is scheduled for release later this year.
